->It was brutal, and once it would have killed us. Even with the [[TransHuman augmentations Trintignant had given us]], the damage inflicted was considerable as a scythe-tipped, triple-jointed pendulum descended from the ceiling and began swinging in viciously widening arcs. Our minds might have been able to [[AwesomenessByAnalysis compute the future position]] of a simpler pendulum, steering our bodies out of its harmful path. But the trajectory of a jointed pendulum was ferociously difficult to predict: a nightmarish demonstration of the mathematics of chaos.

->''In the darkness left alone\\
Walls surround that hellish hole\\
Deadly deep and no way out\\
From above I hear a swinging\\
Metal blade clinging''
